Default Volk GT-Ps..just got them on..let me know what you think.

I just got these on a couple days ago...
Volk GT-Ps..18.9 in front and 18.10 in back.
Eagle F1 245/45 in front and 275/40 in the back.

Let me know what you all think...I did not get the rubberband type tires most people get...just really into the simpler look, plus I like the smoother ride, but please let me know your opinion good or bad..Thanks












Sorry for the dirt in the last pic..when washed did not get it, was in a hurry..sorry again...
Ok there you go what do you think.

NICE, looks great and with those series tires you keep almost a factory ride.

Love them. I really wanted GT-Ps and would have them if they came in 19". First pic I have seen with them on a Z and they look great.

What were all the deciding factors for 18's instead of 19's? I think my main reason I want 18's is the $300+ rear tire cost but I like the look better of 19's, decisions decisions.

Looks very nice. I wanted to get those same wheels on my Z. The only thing is that the way the wheel is designed, the spokes look small for my taste.

Great wheels though. Congrats.

Very, very nice!! I've always wondered what this wheel would look like on a Z. Best looking spoke wheel Volk makes IMO.

Other than the TE37, many of Volks new designs are too busy. The GTP looks classy and will always look good.

I really don't know much about drops...I am going to look into it this week, How much is it usually to get it done? Also to the perso ntalking about 18s and 19s.....they only make up to 18s on the gtp.....you can still get 19s of some type and have a tire under 300...I have 18s and my back tires were over 300$..it just depends on what you want to spend.

Elronn,

I am looking into some type of drop for my 19". Let me know what you find.

Spring? Alignment? My guess total would be around $300 for the installation, spring, and alignment.

Looks sweet, just add a small drop to finish it up.

Just like King Tut, I was going to get them if they were available in 19's, but unfortunately they're not. Now I'm in a coin toss between GT-C's and SF Challenges in gunmetal. Decisions, decisions...
